Lew,
Perhaps you should just take some records and listen at the Tech's place?
But I also think the TT-101 is just devious?
My Tech has had mine running perfectly to correct speeds for over three days without any problems?
He will now just replace all the caps and see how it goes?.....but I suspect that once back installed in my system....the gremlins which have not revealed themselves to others.....might re-appear?
Lew
Apart from static issues, which I'm sure you have considered, are there any transmitting devices near by? Something with more output than a cell phone?
VHF, RT, radio ham neighbor?
Have your tech check and re-do solder joints, Halcro. The gremlins live in those joints.
FWIW, my unit has all new electrolytics. That's the first thing we did during the first round at Bill's shop. On the second go-round, Bill re-soldered all those suspect solder joints. When it then failed in my house, I myself re-soldered yet more of the connections, to no avail. (There wasn't much left to do; Bill was very thorough.) To Richard's question: there are no obvious sources of RFI in my basement in my suburban residential neighborhood. Maybe we missed something as regards solder joints, because transport seems to be associated with the problem's elusive nature, suggesting that shipping trauma can rattle some connection that is tenuous. Hence, I will give it a good swift kick as soon as I get it back home. That should do 'er some good.

A crude but effective test for RFI which is perhaps worth trying.
If you have a portable AM radio. Tune it off station and move it around your room listening for increased static. Maybe something there that is not at first apparent.
